ABOUT THE TASK FORCE:
In the November 2021 election, the voters in Detroit passed Proposal R by 80% urging the City Government to create a task force to make recommendations for Reparations to African Americans (AA) residing in Detroit. In February 2023 the Detroit Reparations Task Force (DRTF) was formed by the Detroit City Council and is comprised of 13 appointed members.
The task force is seeking your input to properly represent the will of the Black citizens of the City of Detroit. Please complete this brief survey to prioritize your ideas on eligibility requirements for potential reparations. Tentatively, a report of recommendations is scheduled to be provided to the Detroit City Council by June 2025. Finally, we are committed to securing funding for our recommendations without reducing any city services or otherwise penalizing the citizens of Detroit.
